We have players regressing before our eyes and our young guys often seem eternally stuck at the same level as their rookie seasons. Players come from other teams and instantly become worse. Ragland was fine last year, why is he such a disaster this season?

Only a few guys are going to just be awesome right away. The problem is our depth never seems to improve. Our players are always staying the same or getting worse.

That's not wrong.

I don't know the answer. Ragland looks awful though.

Come on. You can't even bother to play, you're hurt, but you can travel with the team and say loud words.

GTFO.

Seriously. Ban him from the facilities until he's ready to suit up and play. Getting sick and tired of looking at him standing on the sidelines trying to look busy.

Yeah I think Ragland’s knee is still a problem. He didn’t look this slow last year. I’m not sure what his deal is with tackling bc he made those plays last year as well.

To me Hitchens looks like he’s having trouble adjusting to the 3-4. He’s covering more ground than he did in Dallas and is adjusting.

Bottomline is that both guys have been awful tackling both in space or in the box. That is absolutely on Veach.

Exactly. In every aspect.

O.city 10-15-2018 01:36 PM

The ILb's just look indecisive. I don't know how you fix that.

Neither of them have played that way in the past. I dunno. Frustrating.

Sadly, I don't think this front office knows how to build a defense.

Veach can get blamed, but we all know Andy is pulling the strings.

Or we can consider that six guys on our defense were injured and didn't play sunday night.

That's over half the ****ing defense...

Maybe wishful thinking but both EB and Sorenson have been out since early Aug so maybe they are targeting the Browns game on 11-4 or the Cardinals game the following week to make their debut.

One can hope..

RunKC 10-15-2018 01:44 PM

Yeah this isn’t on Sutton. It isn’t the scheme either. This is 1 million % on the player. This is just football fundamentals 101.

That looks like a guy that isn't sure what to do.

So yeah, that scoaching.

He’s going for the RB every play. It looks like he knows his assignment.

He can’t tackle.

KC had 8 of their 11 starters. Most injuries were at safety, which I don't think impacted how poorly our ILB's played.

The Franchise 10-15-2018 01:52 PM

If he’s shown the ability to do it in the past.....then that’s a coaching issue.

Dude literally missed 0 tackles last season.

Did he forget how? Weird how he could tackle until he was on this defense and coached by this coaching staff.

They haven't sacrificed anything on d. Theres a shitload of money on the d that's supposed to be the studs and they're always hurt. That and they haven't drafted well defensively and won't play recent picks enough to develop anyway.

It's an organizational failure.

We're not getting a new DC, I've resigned myself to that.

And a shitload of that shitload of cash in the D doesn't even play.

Yeah, I dunno. He was really good in Dallas last year.

I don't know
